At Tankline, we specialise in applying high-performance polyurea coatings to protect tanks, bunds, roofs, and industrial structures against harsh environmental and chemical conditions. But what exactly is polyurea—and why is it becoming the go-to solution across so many industries?
What is Polyurea?
Polyurea is a spray-applied elastomer formed by the chemical reaction between an isocyanate and an amine resin. In simple terms, it’s a highly flexible, fast-curing plastic that forms a seamless, waterproof membrane when sprayed.
This isn’t your average paint or coating—polyurea is engineered for industrial durability, resisting chemical attack, abrasion, and water ingress while maintaining its flexibility over time.
Key Benefits of Polyurea
- Rapid Cure Time
Polyurea cures within seconds, meaning minimal downtime for clients. Most systems can be walked on in under a minute and returned to service in a few hours. - Chemical & Corrosion Resistance
It’s highly resistant to acids, fuels, oils, and industrial chemicals—making it ideal for bunds, tanks, and waste treatment plants. - Waterproof & Seamless
Polyurea creates a seamless membrane with no joints, drastically reducing the risk of leaks. - Crack Bridging & Flexibility
Its elastomeric nature allows it to move with the substrate, bridging cracks and accommodating expansion/contraction without failure.
Where is Polyurea Used?
At Tankline, we apply polyurea coatings across a wide range of sectors:
- Secondary containment bunds
- Steel and concrete tanks
- Flat roofs and tank rooftops
- Wastewater and chemical treatment facilities
Why Choose Tankline for Polyurea Applications?
We are approved applicators of Prokol Polymers, one of Europe’s leading polyurea manufacturers. Our experienced team uses specialist heated plural-component equipment to ensure correct mixing, spray parameters, and full bond to the substrate.
Combined with our rigorous surface prep, QA testing (using tools like Elcometer gauges), and safety protocols, we deliver a coating that lasts—often for 25+ years.
The Future of Industrial Protection is Here
Polyurea is changing the game in coatings. If you’re dealing with ageing tanks, cracked bunds, or water ingress issues, polyurea might just be the long-term solution you’ve been waiting for.
